During this, the Shadow Client reveals his knowledge of 47 and the Agency, strongly suggesting that 47's assassinations have brought hardship to him:

"You were always the best. Nobody ever came close. You defined the art, and it defines you. Your actions have changed the world. Powerful men have fallen by your hand; but by the same token, others have risen. Do you realize what kind of world you've been shaping? Does the ICA? Does your handler? I live in that world. I have seen the consequences. I have felt the cost. That's what defines me."
